Classic British Comedy Films

Triple bill of classic British comedies starring the likes of Peter Cook and Ronnie Barker. 'The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer' (1970) stars Cook as the eponymous social climber determined to reach the top by fair means or foul.

Starting out at a small advertising agency, it's not long before Rimmer rises through the ranks to enter the sphere of politics as a spin-doctor, where his talent for manipulation continues to serve him well. 'Sir Henry at Rawlinson's End' (1980) stars Trevor Howard as an English Peer of the Realm who attempts to exorcise the ghost of his dead brother with the aid of his equally eccentric friends and household staff.

Finally, 'Futtock's End' (1969), written by, and starring Ronnie Barker, follows a weekend gathering at the decaying country home of General Futtock (Barker), which produces a series of saucy mishaps between staff and guests.
